    I highly recommend their pancakes which are huge and really good! Service was quick and staff was friendly. I can't wait to come back.

    Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: The Hot Cakes **Tip: Get on the Waitlist before you arrive** We had a great experience at Penny Ann's on Draper this past weekend. The ability to get on the waitlist before arriving is probably the best thing ever. We went during one of the busiest times of the day and being able to get on the list before made the time go much faster. We checked in with the hostess after we arrived and were sat pretty close to the shorter estimated time. We ordered the Pot of Gold and Country Fried Steak, both of which came out fast and fresh. I absolutely love their hot cakes - it's like a more hearty pancake with a buttery taste and is perfect with either the regular or boysenberry syrup. The staff were very welcoming and the rest was well-kept. Highly recommended for a great breakfast spot!

    After 5+ years, we decided to give Penny Ann's a second chance. It's always highly rated but, the only time we opted to try it, the dining room was gross. I guess the second time is the charm. We got there 15 minutes after they opened. We got seated right away and the dining area was clean. They were also well staffed, I'm sure in preparation for a busy Sunday breakfast crowd. Our waitstaff was amazing. My bad, I should've gotten her name. The food was so good. My veggie bowl plus ham (I love veggies!), was outstanding. This is our new breakfast place!! Second time is the charm!!!

    Single stack pancakes with Dubai chocolate

    The service was great, me and my family were seated right away and there were a lot of people in there too. The place is clean and not too loud. My one complaint is there's only two single bathrooms with one toilet each. There's at least 50+ people there this morning and there was a line for them. They need bigger toilets. Now on to the food. I got a single stack of pancakes (2) and there is a special of Dubai Chocolate on top. I was surprised to see there was topping between the layer too. That was fantastic to see and the topping was flavorful on already fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The Dubai topping consists of toasted pistachios, chocolate sauce and some kind of crunchies. I took a picture of it. I would definitely get this again!! My family equally enjoyed their food so I want to give a shout out to the cooks....job well done!!

    We enjoyed eating at Penny's Ann's café. The place was beyond crowded on a Monday morning. I got their pancakes, which I thought were kinda average. Their breakfast sausage was really delicious. This felt like a good place to go if you want breakfast diner food.

    Have eaten here many times and enjoyed the food. The coffee was not tasty and watered down. I ordered the breakfast skillet and was so disappointed. The potatoes they use are from a frozen bag, the green peppers and tomatoes were cut too big of chunks and the spinach was under cooked and chewy, the swiss cheese was chewy and not melted good. Seems like there food quality has gone down hill! Service was great!

    Fried Scone

    Had the spanish omelet and scone! Food was great and service was quick and friendly. Coffee needs a bit of improvement. Would recommend.

    Chili Verde omelette and hotcakes.
    Jim W.

    Lucky the service was so good... the food? A disappointment from previous visits to PAC locations. Busy, kind of loud inside, not much to muffle the noise bouncing off the hard surfaces. I had the chili verde omelette with the hot cakes. The chili verde was off for me. Not what I expected and very thin, little pork, and the spice was just not right. The omelette was overcooked and rubbery, too many undercooked onions (and I love onion!). The potatoes were the standard cardboard texture Sysco type frozen... not hot. My pancakes were good size but again, over cooked and dry. Not my experience in the past but - it's how I see PAC now. It's always on my list to go when I come back home but may search alternatives next time.

    My family love this place, every time they are in town, they want to come here. The fried bread and Dutch pancakes are one of the best in town. Ambience is the typical dining, simple and clean. Service is good. 4 stars because service is not consistent, but it's a place that I keep coming back with family.

    I love Penny Ann's! The locations in both Taylorsville and Draper are great I usually try something different each time, and I've never been disappointed. Their pancakes are absolutely amazing! The service can be a little hit or miss, but I've never had anyone ruin the vibe. It's one of my go-to spots to grab breakfast with family and friends whenever I get the chance

    PAC Coffee, PAC Coffee Mug, Bottomless Cup of Coffee
    Kurt C.

    Penny Ann's is that diner feeling you just crave Some Sunday mornings. The wait is definitely worth it. The coffee was filled quite fast and with a smile all the time. The taste of that coffee is just what you would expect from This kind of place in a good way. What is overly frustrating at some breakfast spots is when the mugs are too small. These were the perfect size and style and one that I would consider purchasing on my own. These PAC Benedict was only ok in my opinion but only because it was my fault that I assumed it was a more generic Benedict. Just learn from me by reading the actual menu first. The pancakes were to die for as usual though. Give this place a shot and you won't regret it.

    Breakfast and brunch are great.

    We had an early appointment this morning so my wife and I had breakfast out at the Penny Ann's Cafe. With a comfortable vibe and clean accommodations, this is a great place for couples or families to get a great meal without breaking the bank. The breakfast burrito was packed with eggs, potatoes, lots of veggies and I selected ham as the meat, but sausage or bacon are also available. Hot and fresh, it was delicious. My wife got the corned beef hash because it is made from scratch. She added two over easy eggs and an order of wheat toast to complete things. Also delicious. Corned beef hash made from scratch cannot compared with the standard cans of premade hash other places serve. Add to this a courteous staff who operated together as a team and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was going well and you have an outstanding breakfast experience. We give them our highest rating and hope you will give them a try soon.

    Lydia B.

    Come hungry! The portions are large and the food is delicious. I live for diners like this. A bottomless cup of coffee goes with everything! My omelet was good, i would have loved to get some salsa with it. My boyfriends smothered burrito was CRAZY it was delish (i stole a fewww bites). And the potatoes were crispy and flavorful without any seasonings! Waitress was kind and attentive. Id come back if I lived anywhere near the place.

They have fallen into the trap of "let's offer a variety of things to appeal to everyone" which naturally turns into, not doing anything well because the kitchen staff is trying to do too many things. They have everything from nachos, Enchiladas, fish & chips, steaks, pasta, flatbread, fish, salads and a mish-mash of appetizers. I ordered the "blackened salmon". It was. It blackened but lightly seasoned and pan fried and literally downing in butter. The mashed potato it came with were not creamed potatoes but had so much butter, that much can't be eaten as all the butter in the dish is so overwhelming. Other At my table got prime rib and pastas. They don't really say much about them after they got them, which isn't a great sign. The ambiance was probably nice at one point, but the place really needs a remodel. My advice is to narrow down the menu so the kitchen can focus on doing a fixed number of items really well. Then maybe have a rotating weekly or monthly special if you want to keep the menu fresh. Too many things means nothing is done well. If they update the menu in this way I would try them again, otherwise I have no reason to return based on this experience.

Not only did the restaurant get a makeover, but so did the menu. The food was okay! I would argue it's about the same quality as what the old kitchen was serving but the menu is completely different. My breakfast sandwich was comically large. The pancakes -- heavy emphasis on "cakes" -- were so sweet. The hollandaise on the Benedict and the potatoes were seasoned well. (They "ran out" of ketchup so that was a bummer.) Everything was good but not necessarily something to write home about. The environment is the star of the show! Well decorated, great seating, and beautiful views. I hadn't been to the Ridge Cafe since before Covid, so it was fun coming back to see and taste the changes of ROR. For the views alone, give Royal On Ridge a try.

We went here for a book club brunch and were well taken care of by our server. We had a reservation and they had our table all ready and seated us immediately. The food wasn't my favorite. Which is why the three stars. The mini donuts tasted mostly like grease -- between a table of we didn't even finish them. The breakfast croissant sandwich was huge, but the bacon wasn't at all cooked and all four of us that ordered it sent our bacon back to the kitchen to be cooked more. The potatoes looked amazing, but I didn't think they were that great. Everyone said their food was fine, but no raving reviews. The best thing ordered by our table was the Goat Cheese appetizer. This was yummy! Highly recommend. Overall, won't be making the drive for this place again.
